	   This wll ONLY happen for folders containing files with
   custom icons.  It will NOT happen for normal files, nor for folders
   w/custom icons!   

What I've seen (and perhaps what the original poster was referring to)
is that if you have "show version" turned on in your 7.0 Views Control
Panel, then all of the files will be uncompressed when they are viewed
in any non-icon view. I don't recall seeing this mentioned in the
documentation.
